These Drawings came from "Alice in Wonderland" illustrated by Ralph Steadman (known for the years of work he did with Dr Hunter S. Thompson. I did the Lobster to help fill space on his sleeve and went in and re-worked the Mad Hatter and the Caterpillar. This was different to do than most other tattoos since Ralph Steadman uses a lot of pen and ink techniques so it's a little different than standard tattooing.

Bio

My name is Justin Graves and I'm a 32 year old award winning tattoo artist out of Brunswick, Maine. I've been tattooing for over 6 years and currently working at Skin Deep Tattoo and Piercing at 417 Main st Lewiston, ME 04240. If you like the work you see you can come into the shop or call (207)795-1000 or you can MESSAGE ME ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE , you can also message the Skin Deep Page (there's a link here and also further down the blog) you can email me at JustinGravesandhiswalkingdead@yahoo.comYou can also try my cell at (207)751-0952 if I do not answer please try texting. I guarantee my work, touch ups are free, and customer satisfaction is something not only important to the shop but to me personally. I can work with any budget and session discounts are available to people wanting big work. All tattoos are priced by the piece and never by the hour. I don't believe in charging by the hour there's no need to rush and you wont give your best work if you're being rushed. I am not a specialty artist mastering one style of tattooing, I aim to do any style tattoo a client comes in with, from portraits, to realism, to popping color pieces(new school), to black and grey masterpieces, traditional American and Japanese are things I do a lot of, etc. If you bring an idea or reference in I can do it, and I'll always give a reasonable offer and if you decide on getting it, most of my clients become long term clients and that's what I aim for, I don't want your tattoo to just look good only when you leave, I want it to look good for years to from now and wanting you to be satisfied enough to want to come back again or refer me to a friend.
